Woodcut from La Petit Histoire Bretonne ‘On the Open Sea’ Rene Quillivic, 1921

I’m absolutely devastated at the news that my friend Tony Stella has passed. Tony and I had become good friends these last 9 years. I will forever cherish our collaborations. He was truly a one of a kind talent and a genuinely great (and funny) guy. My heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.

R.I.P. to the great Tony Stella, a friend and inspiration. This is devastating

Sad news about Tony Stella, his incredible work managed to perfectly capture the tone of so many classic movies. Pleased he got around to two of my favourites, The Limey and Night Moves - I’ll be framing his Dollars Trilogy posters when the set arrives. RIP Tony.

Tony Stella, an artist of immense brilliance and prolific output, has passed away. He was one of the greatest artists to ever do it. Rest in peace, Tony.

Farewell to Tony Stella, one of the greatest.

"'I could cut out silhouettes almost as soon as I could...hold a pair of scissors,' recalled Lotte Reiniger in 1936. Reiniger was a pioneer of silhouette animation, who loved myths and fairytales and returned to them again and again to create exquisite, imaginative worlds from paper and light."
